Freeway driving rules

The letter writer extols the benefits of driving in the left lane on freeways at maximum allowable speeds and forcing drivers to go around him if they desired to exceed the speed limit.

He should realize that today's freeways were designed for speeds of 75 mph and that in many areas 85 percent of drivers exceed the stated speed as it feels natural and quite safe to do so

By forcing drivers to go around him, let's say on the way down the Conejo Grade, Roberts would create a traffic hazard. This reminds me of the old saying on older slower drivers: He never had an accident, but sure caused quite a few.

The same case is true here. Roberts is right, but more realistically, dead right for others.
